Some Maxim bathing suit model

My friend asked me to draw him something, because we have known each other for so long and I have not drawn him a single thing. So I said, "sure, what kind of thing would you like me to draw for you?" And he sent me a stupid Maxim model. SO, I delivered! He doesn't like it hehe. I think I'm going to give it to my roommate when she moves out, she seemed to like it! I will post the original first (EXCUSE IT) and then of course there are some stages hihi. It's not done yet, but I like it so far.





I cut her butt out. I just thought it looked better sans-butt!

Adelie penguins

I have been reading a book called "Among Penguins" about a man who lived in Antarctica to study Adelie penguins for three months. It's really interesting! He talks about the crazy storms, and how the penguins/him and his team survive them. Also, about penguin  behaviour. Adelie penguins sound like the cutest little things in the universe. They come back to their breeding/nesting grounds yearly, but some are too young to mate so instead they become a group of mischevious/curious little penguins (little, because they go up to about your knee). So he wrote about how a little penguin crew followed him around the entire time, and how sometimes they would look somewhere between extreme curiosity and being ready to attack. And when they did attack, they would run at him and pound his legs with their little flippers! Which apparently are pretty strong. SO... I painted some. I do not like the background, but I will improve!




I also don't like the border I added too much! Regardless, it was fuuuuuuuuuun woooo.

MY FAVOURITE POEM

I have a new penpal! I don't really know her... But I was thinking of what I could include in my little letter package, and I remembered this poem. It's part of a song that I love. I found the translation and it was so sad/beautiful. Here it is!

Marina Tsvetaeva  "Untitled"


   How many people fell in this abyss,
     I fathom from afar!
     There will be time, and I will vanish too
     From earth's exterior.

     All will be still, that sang and that did struggle,
     That glistened and rejoiced:
     The greenness of my eyes, the gold of my hair,
     And this my tender voice.

     Life will continue with its soft hot bread,
     With day's oblivion.
     All will continue - under outstretched heavens
     As if I'd never been!

     Like children changeable in every mien
     And angry not for long,
     Who loved the times when in the fireplace
     Into ash turned the log,

     Violin and cavalcade within the forest
     And in the village, bell...
     Upon this dear earth - I will be no longer
     That was alive and real!

     To all - who are the friends and strangers
     To never having known the measure, me?
     I turn to you with this my faith's demand
     And love's query.

     Both day and night, in word and letter both:
     For truth of yes and no,
     For that though I am but twenty I am
     So often in such sorrow,

     For unavoidably my slights and trespasses
     Will be forgiven me -
     For all of my impetuous tenderness
     And look too proud and free -

     For quickness of events as they come rushing,
     For truth, for play, say I -
     Please hear me! But do also please love me
     For this that I will die.
